    Moved mom, beautiful, caring, responsive

    I moved my mom here and have been very pleased. The community is beautiful with large, well-kept grounds, restaurant-quality meals and a 24-hour snack menu. Staff and nurses are friendly and responsive, activities are plentiful (piano, bingo, card games), and the rehab program is excellent - residents enjoy the exercises. Our family's experience has been very positive; I recommend this place.

    Summary of reviews

    Givens Health Center presents a mixed picture: several reviewers praise the campus aesthetics, dining, activity offerings, and elements of clinical care, while others describe operational and communication shortcomings that affect family confidence. The facility is frequently described as having attractive grounds and comfortable communal spaces; dining receives strong positive remarks, including high-quality meals and a 24-hour snack option. The activity program is another consistent strength, with regular musical programming, bingo, card games and group exercise frequently mentioned as contributing to resident engagement.

    Staffing and direct-care quality elicit divergent impressions. Many families note friendly, responsive nurses and caregiving staff and highlight a well-regarded rehabilitative therapy program where residents participate in group exercise and therapy sessions. At the same time, there are repeated concerns about variable staff availability, delays in responding to resident needs, and issues with the tone of staffโ€“family communication. Several accounts also raise operational lapses related to room maintenance and incontinence care; these are characterized by reviewers as inconsistent cleanliness and missed housekeeping tasks rather than uniform facility practices.

    Rehabilitation services are viewed positively for programming and staff engagement but appear constrained by physical capacity and equipment availability: reviewers mention a small, crowded therapy area and limited rehab equipment. Management and administrative practices are another area of concern. Families cite gaps in care-plan collaboration, examples of promised meetings not taking place, and perceived lack of responsiveness from leadership when clinical or administrative issues are raised. A number of reviewers question the value proposition, indicating a perceived mismatch between fees charged and the standard of care delivered.

    In summary, Givens Health Center shows clear strengths in campus environment, dining, activities, and some aspects of clinical and rehabilitative care. However, persistent patterns in the reviews point to operational weaknesses โ€” especially inconsistent sanitation/housekeeping, variable staffing responsiveness, limitations in rehab capacity, and communication/follow-through from management โ€” that prospective residents and families should evaluate during a visit. When considering this community, it would be prudent to ask specific questions about housekeeping and incontinence-care protocols, staffing ratios and response times, rehabilitation resources, care-plan collaboration processes, and financial terms to assess alignment with individual needs and expectations.

    About Givens Health Center

    Givens Health Center sits in a quiet spot nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, so you'll see a lot of green views and pretty gardens around, with walking trails if you like to take a stroll or just sit outside for a while and take in the fresh air, and the whole place is known for its calm setting that helps folks feel relaxed and cared for. The Health Center holds accreditation from the Continuing Care Accreditation Commission (CCAC), which means it follows certain standards for elder care, and people in the community say it does its job well.

    The Center has 70 skilled nursing facility beds and counts as a skilled nursing facility (SNF), and you'll find nursing services, assisted living, memory care, help with rehabilitation, short-term stays for respite, as well as hospice and palliative care for those who need it, plus psychiatrists and psychoanalysts provide counseling services for mental health. Folks can live here in different kinds of homes, like Your Home, Friendship Park, Asbury Commons, Oxford Commons, Creekside Apartments, Duplexes, Cottage Homes, and regular Houses, which gives people choices depending on what fits their needs. There are renovated living spaces and modern amenities throughout, and indoor spaces stay comfortable and safe for residents. The site offers dining venues and a Wellness Center, so meals and exercise have spots set aside, and home care services are available for those who want extra help at their residence. Givens Health Center operates as a non-profit Life Plan Community, sometimes called a continuing care retirement community, which means people can stay as they need, get different levels of care, and move between types of care. Robert Underwood, Jr. serves as administrator, and while the information provided doesn't go into lots of detail about every service or feature, folks in the community say the Health Center's reputation for quality elder care stands strong.
